Show by John Barban & Geoff Dover

The Cardiac Cougars did it again.BYU survived another tense finish against Arizona State, and once again the Cougars found a way to make the biggest plays when they absolutely needed them. We break down BYU’s latest close win, including a remarkable 95-yard fourth-quarter touchdown drive that may prove to be one of the defining moments of their season.With the running game struggling badly without LJ Martin, BYU increasingly put the game in Bear Bachmeier’s hands. When the Cougars needed a play, Bachmeier delivered including two critical fourth-down conversions on the go-ahead drive. We discuss Kalani Sitake’s aggressive decision to go for it deep in his own territory and why that gamble demonstrated the confidence this team has developed.We also look at Arizona State’s second-half comeback, the controversial BYU touchdown that Big 12 officials later acknowledged should not have counted, and just how different this offense looks without Martin in the backfield.BYU is now 7-1 and continues to survive games that seem determined to go down to the final seconds.Now the stakes get even higher.Next up: Utah and the Holy War.
